From the positive post on battery you should run into a megafuse which will lead to the positive in to your alternator. The clip that plugs into the alternator should have a wire with an inline fuse in it. That should connect back to the positive wire at the megafuse. In the same general area should be a clip that looks like the other wire coming off the alternator. Hope I was able to phrase it to where it helps
